Actually the "X" is ancient and from the word for Christ and Christians.
In Greek, the first letter of "Christ" is an X -- a chi. If you look at ancient church artwork you will see many "X"s. You will also see X+Rho (XP). My favorite is ICXC, often seen in Orthodox artwork.
Yep, the intentions are clearly disrespectful here in not spelling out Christ or Christian, but the "X" as shorthand goes back to the early Church,
Just like edgelords with St Peter's cross, they failed to do their research before trying to be disrespectful and now just look dumb to those who know.
